WWDC 2026 Predictions: macOS

WWDC 2026 is upon the world in less than a week. Amidst all of the usual kerfuffle that surrounds the event, I remain solely fixated on what Apple will bring to macOS. Like others, I’ve written about what I hope to see in macOS 27, but for this post, I’m going to share what I think Apple will actually announce.

  1. A user option to set a cohesive visual appearance across all Apple devices from the Mac. For example, if I want every Apple device to have the same wallpaper, accent color, etc. I can set it once and it will apply itself across all Apple devices.
  2. Related to the above, the ability to have the same wallpaper generatively scale and resize across Apple devices. Set once, see everywhere.
  3. The ability to toggle Widgets and Desktop icons ON or OFF from the Control Center.
  4. A built-in icon / wallpaper generator using Image Playground, that will feed into the above unified appearance prediction.
